She ordered the vegetable curry and I ordered the tahini stir fry. So many appetizing items on their menu! Hummus, baba ganoush, cheese plate... Our server (the owner?) was SO attentive, kind and friendly. He took such great care of us! Fun fact: on certain weekdays they open at 6pm, so it's earlier than most Spanish restaurants and works perfectly so you can eat before the 7:30pm mass. They even saw us waiting outside and let us in 20 min early! I would highly recommend this place to any hungry, health-minded pilgrims along their journey. In fact, I might just go back for Round Two!

The lady who served me speaks perfect english, and I had the only vegetarian version of the Galician soup I had always been wanting to try. It is a rich, hearty and super delicious soup! Then came the second plate, a vegetarian couscous, And good thing I decided to snap a picture before it was all gone like the Galician soup! The second plate was also supremely delicious, heavenly, flavorful, sublime! Even though I wasn't hungry, I ate every bit of it! Wow~! I truly hope this gem of a place keeps on going to feed hungry souls like us with such sublime dishes.

This is where my Spain culinary journey ended. I spent 9…read morenights between Barcelona, Madrid and Santiago de Compostela and was able to get a reservation to do 8 menu tastings. I ended up getting in to another one unscheduled so it became a total of 9. This was hands down the best one of all 9. All around. From where they seated me which was right in front of the kitchen where I got to watch the whole team prepare everything. To ALL the wine I indeed up downing. To how beyond delicious every dish that came out was - and there was a total of 8, 6 food and 2 desserts. The experience starts with a refreshing mocktail paired with a spoon of whatever that was that opened up my palate and got me ready for what was ahead of me. After the soup was the tastiest oyster I've ever had in my life. It was so tasty and perfectly seasoned. I loved every bite of every single plate that got dropped off. Don't even get me started on their brioche. It was so good I got another piece. The gambitas was super delicate it practically melted in your mouth. The next two dishes were so bomb that I was so full by the time we got to the chicken. After that were the two desserts. The service was above and beyond. From the moment I sat down, to the in between dishes where someone comes by to clean up your area or checks in to make sure everything was going well, to my exit- the whole staff were so accommodating. The sommelier took such great care of me. He was challenged after I specifically asked to only be given Spanish wine. Chef Marcelo takes the time to speak to every diner. He made sure to check in here and there and he sends you off at the end of your meal. Truly, one of the best experiences. I can't wait to come back to see what other dishes Chef Marcelo has come up with.

Tonight, I decided to search online before heading out to dinner as Tui is a larger town. Luckily I stumbled across Manc's on Trip Advisor, and thank goodness I did! Manc made my friend and I the best meal of our trip so far, and was incredibly friendly. The portion sizes were very generous! The vegan burger was a lentil/quinoa burger patty with caramelized onions and fresh greens and tomatoes on a toasted rustic bun - delicious! The menu is full of non-vegetarian options too, I'm sure anyone would have a great meal here. Hopefully this review will help future pilgrims and tourists alike enjoy a wonderful meal from a lovely chef - thank you, Manc!

The tomato soup was a little strange as it had been egg in it. I noticed what looked like a yoke that match the color of the soup and then thought the white was cheese but no it was an egg so if you're vegan advised. French fries were good, get your own serving because they aren't very big. They do have 1 L bottles of flat water available. And it's a good spot to people watch as people come and go from the greenery of the Overlook and the castle/ fort.
